Algebra.Com's Answer #658267 by Fombitz(32388) You can put this solution on YOUR website! Not sure what you mean about gradients being the same. \n" ); document.write( "So going from A to O would be the same procedure as going from E to B. \n" ); document.write( "Similarly, going from O to B would be the same procedure as going from A to E. \n" ); document.write( "So starting with O and going to B, you move 4 units right, 4 units up. \n" ); document.write( "B:(0,0)+(4,4)=(4,4) \n" ); document.write( "So starting with A, move 4 units right, 4 units up to find E. \n" ); document.write( "E:(-2,1)+(4,4)=(2,5) \n" ); document.write( "As a check, going from A to O, move 2 units right, 1 unit down, \n" ); document.write( "O:(-2,1)+(2,-1)=(0,0) \n" ); document.write( "So then moving from E to B should also be the same, \n" ); document.write( "B: (2,5)+(2,-1)=(4,4) \n" ); document.write( "So we're consistent \n" ); document.write( "E: (2,5) \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
